The Challenge
The opportunity is to eliminate Building to last week's revision, a change absorbed instead of billed, and a submittal reviewed twice, cleared once. The proposed workflow is source-linked, but the current operating baseline and financial value remain illustrative until validated with the client.
How It Works
- One engine reads every drawing, redline, request for information, transmittal and vendor submittal.
- It detects what changed between revisions and what that change touches downstream, in the bill of materials, the wiring, the panel schedule and the test procedure.
- It drafts the change order with the hours and material it implies, and routes it to the named approver before the shop builds to a superseded sheet.
What It Removes
- Building to last week's revision
- A change absorbed instead of billed
- A submittal reviewed twice, cleared once
